​
What is GBT - Guided Biofilm Therapy?
Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced, state-of-the-art professional cleaning system designed to provide unparalleled comfort and exceptional oral health benefits. It uses a combination of Air-flow and Perio-flow polishing techniques with erythritol powder. This is complimented with additional ultrasonic scaling to remove biofilm (also commonly known as plaque), hard tartar deposits, and stains from your teeth and gums more effectively and more comfortably than traditional scale and polish methods. GBT ensures a deeper clean, promoting healthier gums and a brighter smile.
​
Why Choose Guided Biofilm Therapy?
-
Pain-Free and Comfortable: GBT is designed to be a true wellness experience. Unlike traditional methods, GBT is pain-free, making your visit to the hygienist a pleasant and relaxing experience.
-
Effective Plaque Removal: GBT effectively removes harmful plaque (biofilm) from teeth and gums. This is crucial for preventing gum disease (periodontitis) and tooth decay (caries), which are common dental issues identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
-
Health Benefits Beyond the Mouth: The bacteria in oral biofilm not only damage teeth and gums but can also contribute to serious systemic diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer. Regular removal of biofilm with GBT helps protect your overall health.​
​
How Guided Biofilm Therapy Works
-
Evaluation: Your oral health is assessed to determine the most suitable treatment plan.
-
Disclosing: Biofilm is made visible with a special dye to ensure complete removal.
-
Motivation: You receive personalised advice on maintaining oral hygiene at home.
-
Airflow®: Biofilm, discolouration, and early calculus are removed using a gentle jet of air and warm water combined with AIRFLOW® PLUS powder.
-
Perioflow®: Deep periodontal pockets are cleaned thoroughly and gently.
-
Piezon® PS: Remaining calculus is removed painlessly and precisely.
-
Quality Control: A final check ensures all biofilm, discolourations, and calculus have been removed, and your teeth are examined for caries.
